My personal favourite Easter Book is The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. As I have told some of you before, Jan Brett is one of my very favourite children's authors and illustrators. If we were together today, this is the book that I would absolutely be reading to you. Her books not only tell a written story but her illustrations often tell a second story all their own. Often times there are clues or even a mini-story hidden into the art that borders the main illustrations. In my opinion, these details make her stories that much more engaging and wonderful. We have a Jan Brett bin in our library, so finding these lovely books is super easy. Listen to The Easter Egg by Jan Brett in the video below.
Here are some additional resources to help pass the time over the long weekend and get everyone into the spirit.
